“We cannot be saved in part by self, and in part by the promise of God . . . The promise, and the promise alone, must be the foundation of our hope, and all legal notions must be sternly dismissed as irreconcilable with salvation by grace.”  Charles H. Spurgeon  (1834-1892)

“A man that is praying should behave himself as if he were entering into the court of heaven, where he sees the Lord upon his throne, surrounded with ten thousand of his angels and saints ministering unto him.”  (Bernard; 1860-1927)

“But let faith’s eagle-eye pierce the clouds and darkness that surround the throne, and behold the heart of God is still love, all love, and nothing but love, to his afflicted, bereaved, and sorrow-stricken child, and in a moment every murmur will be hushed, every rebellious feeling will be still, and every unkind thought will lay in the dust; and, ‘He hath done all things well,–in love and faithfulness hath he afflicted me,’ will be the only sounds uttered by the lips.”  Octavius Winslow  (1808-1878)

But men think, and resolve, and act for themselves; yet they fulfill the plans of Jehovah as much as the sun, moon, and stars.  His very enemies in opposing him are made the instruments of serving him.  How consoling to the believer is this view of Providence!  (Alexander Carson; 1776-1844)

“When a man dares to pour out his complaint before the Lord’s own face, his woes are real, and not the result of petulance or a rebellious spirit.”  Charles H. Spurgeon  (1834-1892)

“So this is the art of contentment:  not to seek to add to our circumstances, but to subtract from our desires.”  (Jeremiah Burroughs  1600-16460)

You may offer an excuse for unfaithfulness, but you can never give a reason for it. (Unknown)

“The time of trial is appointed . . . You are not in the furnace by chance, or at the will of your enemies; the time is appointed, set by God . . . God sitteth by the furnace prying and looking after his metal: Mal. 3.3; “He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.”  Thomas Manton (1620-1677)

“You will see, that when man is all careless, God is all care; when man can do nothing, God does all; when man deserves nothing, God gives all.  Salvation is from first to last of grace.”  Henry Law  (1797-1884)

“If the Lord Jesus possesses all power in heaven and earth, then none can successfully resist His will.”  Arthur W. Pink  (1886-1952)
